The label on the dish is rather noticeable. I can see a lot of noise, and if I can see a lot of noise at the size posted, that means it's a rather noisy image. It can use more contrast at the dark end.

Second shot looks like a wall hanging, but we know that it is simply taken from directly above - so, you get mixed feelings about your relative positions and views.

#1 is a more interesting shot, and I would only recommend one change - render it darker overall, just enough to make the flame stand out (separate) from the candle.

Very nice!

#2 is a nice abstract shot if not for the manufacturer's seal. #1 looks noisy.

As they stand they look like a little too much work from under exposure has been applied but no2 is an ideal candiate for fractalius.

I take it is a crystal dish. I wished there was more glass or crystal-ness expressed in both shots.

I'm going to listen to Gyuto Monk chants and stare at #2 for a while.
